"I cannot believe I would lose to you."
Lian Yun puked out blood and looked at Ling Xian with mixed emotions. There was hatred and bitterness.
He used Ling Xian to plot against Lin Yannan. He thought he was 90% sure he would succeed, but the result was a crushing defeat.
This made him feel like a clown, hilarious and ridiculous.
"You lost to the leader, not me." Ling Xian softly sighed. Though this was merely an illusion, he was still very thankful towards Lian Yun.
After all, this person taught him the Steps of the Wind and the Void Technique. Without these two techniques, he wouldn't have been able to accumulate so much wealth by stealing.
"No, I lost to you."
Lian Yun smiled bitterly, "I thought you were just my chess piece. I didn't expect you to be the real player."
"I have no intention of harming you. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for using me." Ling Xian sighed. Not only did Lian Yun use him, but he also wanted to kill him.
If this person didn't have the intention to kill him, he wouldn't have died today.
"I regret it. I regret choosing you."
Lian Yun stared at Ling Xian, "You are not someone I can control. You are not someone anyone can control."
As he spoke, he took out a few pieces of silver from his bosom and said, "I've said before that when you're strong enough, I'll return these pieces of silver to you. Now, you can take them."
"You are still keeping them …"
Ling Xian sighed. Though all pieces of silver look the same, he was certain that these were the first pieces of silver he stole.
"Take them. You were able to play with two grandmasters in the palm of your hand. You are strong enough to be strong enough."
Lian Yun sighed deeply. He thought he had overestimated Ling Xian, but he still underestimated him.
"You were the one who was tricked. I was not."
Lin Yannan's eyelid twitched. She was hurt by the word "tricked".
"You weren't?"
Lian Yun smiled, "You were tricked by me and used by him. You are the most pitiful person."
"You are at death's door and you dare to try to drive a wedge between us?"
Lin Yannan's eyes turned cold, "He and I are unshakable allies. No matter how glib your tongue is, you cannot drive a wedge between us."
"I'm not trying to sow discord. I'm just feeling emotional."
Lian Yun gave Ling Xian a complicated look, "Congratulations on having the last laugh."
With that, he severed his own meridians and took his last breath.
"It's over …" Ling Xian softly sighed. Building a tomb for Lian Yun was a way to repay him for teaching him.
After that, he passed the jade slip to Lin Yannan and said, "The enmity between us is written off."
"Don't you want to cultivate this technique?"
Lin Yannan stared at Ling Xian, "This is a technique of cultivators. It has the chance to break through space."
"Not interested."
Ling Xian faintly grinned. With his current capabilities, he could steal millions of dollars. There was no need for him to learn other techniques.
"It's fine if you don't know about it, but if you know that there's a chance for you to shatter the void with this method, you don't do anything about it. It really surprises me."
Lin Yannan sighed with emotion. Her gaze became gentler and more appreciative.
"I am not interested in breaking through space." Ling Xian smiled and paid his respect to Lin Yannan, "Goodbye."
"Wait a minute."
Lin Yannan hesitated, "If you have nowhere else to go, why don't you come to my palace and be an Honorable Guest?"
"I want to be a thief." Ling Xian softly grinned.
"Everyone has their own aspirations. I won't force you. But, you better be a hero."
Lin Yannan's eyes were deep, "Or else, don't blame me for not remembering our past relationship."
"I don't deserve to be called a hero. All I can say is, I don't steal from those who do good and those who are poor."
Ling Xian softly chuckled and disappeared like the wind.
…
Lian Yun was one of the five grandmasters. His death shocked the entire martial world.
Everyone in the martial world was in awe. They didn't think the Holy Thief, who looked down on the martial world like a God, would fall.
At the same time, everyone in the martial world remembered a name, Ling Xian.
Though people didn't know the exact details, even an idiot could tell that Lian Yun's death had something to do with Ling Xian.
To kill a grandmaster with third-rate Qi was without a doubt, a shocking event.
Because of this, Ling Xian became the most attention-grabbing person in the martial world. At once, he was in the limelight and everyone was talking about him.
As time went on, more and more people were talking about him.
This was all because he had accomplished many great things.
There was a corrupt official in Jiang Nan who took bribes and violated the law. Many people in the martial world wanted to get rid of him.
However, this person kept many servants. Without an exception, they were all skilled cultivators. Even the most skilled cultivators couldn't do anything to them.
However, this person died in the hands of Ling Xian.
The money he stole was distributed by Ling Xian to the commoners.
There was a bandit village in the west of the city that did all kinds of evil. It had reached a point where it angered the heavens and the people.
But because the leader of the village was a top leveled cultivator, in the past 10 years, no one dared to provoke them.
However, Ling Xian dared.
He had no way to kill a top leveled cultivator, but he emptied the village's treasury. Then, he hired three top leveled cultivators and completely destroyed the village.
Other than these two achievements, Ling Xian did many other things that shocked everyone in the martial world and made them admire him.
Slowly, the two words "hero and thief" were used on Ling Xian.
Young and inexperienced people saw him as their idol, famous heroes wanted to drink 300 cups of wine with him, unmarried young ladies saw him as their dream lover, and influential elders thought he would succeed Lian Yun and become the fifth grandmaster.
To sum it all up, Ling Xian's name was known throughout the martial world. Even those who were far away from the martial world had heard of him.
However, just as he was at the peak of his fame, he disappeared without a trace as if he had evaporated from the world.
Some said he offended someone he could not afford to offend and died in the wilderness. Others said he was tired of the world and hid his identity.
Slowly, people stopped talking about Ling Xian. Just like fireworks, they only shine for a moment.
…..
The wind blew and the bamboo leaves rustled.
Ling Xian's robe was white like snow and his eyes were deep. Like an immortal, he was out of this world.
He wasn't dead. He had accumulated a lot of wealth and there was no need for him to steal anymore.
"It's about time. Soon, I will be able to leave the Hidden Territory."
Ling Xian faintly grinned, his eyes flashed with anticipation.
The Immortal of Thieves was a legendary existence. Though he was not an Immortal King, he was not far from it.
His techniques were definitely undefeatable techniques. They were not any weaker than the Disorder Conquering Fists. In some aspects, they were even better than the Disorder Conquering Fists.
Ignoring everything else, the mysterious footwork displayed by the descendants of the Sect of Thieves was enough to make Ling Xian's heart waver.
"I wonder if my performance in the Hidden Territory will satisfy the Immortal of Thieves and if I can learn everything …"
Ling Xian muttered to himself. The Immortal of Thieves had said that it would depend on his performance. If he is satisfied, he will teach him everything he knows.
If he is not satisfied, then he will only be able to learn a part of the techniques.
"Hopefully, I will be able to obtain the true inheritance of the Thief Immortal."
Ling Xian mumbled. Suddenly, he felt the space around him distort and the earth shatter.
Then, the scene before him changed. It was no longer the green bamboo forest, but the nine Mount of the Healing Soul.
